The plan was to start the week with a sunrise but lately the sunsets here have been more intriguing. And then the coyote came by this morning, so familiar to the dogs at this point that the ten seconds they spent barking seemed more like fulfilling a contractual obligation than any real menace.

(Of course when it comes to this guy:

...the concept of menace is relative.)

ANYway, here's the coyote in the hills behind the house, late enough that it was light enough to get a decent shot.
